Land surface topography is one of the most important terrain properties which impact
hydrological, geomorphological, and ecological processes active on a landscape. In our …

The Amazon rainforest has experienced rapid land‐use changes over the last few decades,
including extensive deforestation that can affect riparian habitats and streams. The aim of …

Numerous studies have linked land use/land cover (LULC) to aquatic ecosystem responses,
however only a few have included the dynamics of changing LULC in their analysis. In this …

Common and rare species differ in their level of dispersal ability and habitat specialization,
and thus should respond to distinct assembly rules. Rare species are much more spatially …

We present a parametric model for estimating the areas within watersheds whose land use
best predicts indicators of stream ecological condition. We regress a stream response …

In the present study, we analyzed a unique phytophysiognomy in the Amazon region, which
is formed by savanna-like vegetation on iron-rich soil (known locally as canga) located …

In this paper, we evaluate relationships between in-stream habitat, water chemistry, spatial
distribution within a predominantly agricultural Midwestern watershed and geomorphic …

Context Previous studies developed distance-weighted regression to describe how land use
effects on aquatic systems attenuate with arrangement of source areas within catchments …

A common theme in recent landscape studies is the comparison of riparian and watershed
land use as predictors of stream health. The objective of this study was to compare the …

To evaluate the spatial extent of the effects of forest cover on stream ecosystems, we
measured algae, invertebrate, and fish biomass and invertebrate and fish community …
